404 Error Check for a Site

May 9, 2008

On Google AdSense Help Forum: URLs not found

Hello.  I have been having this problem for several days now and have
read every help section and combed the forums looking for answers to
no avail.  My site diagnostics says my URL is "not found".  I created
the robots.txt file and put it where I think the root directory is, on
my GPC page where it has a file area there.  The bots crawled again
last night and still say URL not found.  I really need help with this,
have no clue what to do now.  I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks.

PunBB powers Facebook Developers Forum

March 1, 2008

This's a very accidental discovery. I found out that Facebook.com is using PunBB for their Developers Forum.

The strange thing that caught my attention is that PunBB is a very simple PHP-powered bulletin board. Why such a big company like Facebook didn't make their own forum CMS or use a commercial one such as vBulletin, or the free and famous one phpBB, or bbPress. Why PunBB?

I went ahead to PunBB and register for an account for their forum. I tested it and here are some findings.

PunBB features

PunBB claims to have the following features:

The Future of Binh dot Name

January 23, 2008

I've been busy these few days and haven't post as many useful posts as I should. My apologies for that. I would like to restate a few reasons here and I hope to receive your suggestions. The reasons are:

  1. This blog is being redesigned.
  2. New sub domains or domains are coming up.
  3. The URL structure is not finalized.

If you are kind-hearted, knowledgeable and give me suggestions, I will have rewards for you too. Don't worry, the minimum I could give you are some good keyword back links to your site from my PR3 blog. I'm not rich now so my pocket money is limited. I can make some nice award if what you give change my life.

Fixing Dangerous Permalink Redirect Bugs

November 16, 2007

Since I have more than one occasion encounter bug with Permalink Redirect, I recommend people wait for new version of this plug-in.

The Bugs

The following are the bugs:

  1. Redirect "/feed" URI to "/feed/" using 302 redirect. Ignoring the "/%postname%" rule having no trailing slash.
  2. Redirect "/?paged=x" to "/page/x/" (where x is paging number) ingoring the fact ugly default URL is used, causing 404 message when paging.

There is no doubt about these bugs, because I test it by enabling and disabling Permalink Redirect plugin.

Fixing the bugs

Indeed being a programmer gives me some advantages, I could fix the bugs on the fly.

Major Blog Building Considerations

November 16, 2007

At this time I'm pretty lazy at designing and coding things. I've been stumbled on the Blog World, which give me the stronger will to live (blogging). I want to write more and more. However it's time to really do some serious decisions.

I started posting my blog entries with WordPress because I felt that's a necessary initiative. However, I strongly need to consider few things.

Website structure

The biggest issue I'm having is the website structure. I'm still wondering whether

  1. putting niche topics on separate subdomains, and so using WordPress MU to power my site,

Top 10 Blog URL Considerations

November 12, 2007

It's a common for people to have dilemma during a decision making time. I'm no exception. My blog is up for a week now and I had spent a long time on deciding a few things.

I am asking myself "what is the best URL structure?" I want to achieve this URL structure for my "Binh dot Name" and all the following websites I create. The matter is that, I already spent a month or so thinking about this without getting the final decision. Along with the CMS choice, this URL thing delayed me from publishing my blog for too long until I finally fed up of waiting and decide to "Just do it".
